This tour is perfect for those with a few days in Iceland but who want to see and do as much as possible, including seeing the 'Crown Jewel of Iceland', Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Not only can you delight in the natural attractions but you will also travel through the black desert Sólheimassandur.

Your first stops will be at the iconic waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skógasfoss. You will also see the famous Reynisfjara black beach and all of its intriguing geological features.

Other sights you can look forward to including the stunning icebergs floating on the glacier lagoon, Jökulsárlón as well as upon the black sands of the Diamond Beach. To top off your experience, you will also go for a glacier hike to enjoy the serene quiet icy landscapes of the mountains.

Your accommodation for the evening is taken care of and this minibus experience releases you from all concerns about driving. If you're travelling in the summer, you can enjoy all of this under the magnetic Midnight Sun or in the winter, you can look forward to the possibility of the Northern Lights.
